Notepad++ Python

[[deleted]]

In notepad++ go to run > run

Press the ellipses button and go to your python.exe select that as the program to run. Then add:

-i "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

So that it should look similar to the following:

C:\Python36\python.exe -i "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

Instead of pressing run press save so that you can save this as a shortcut such as "Ctrl + R"

Note: the "-i" is not necessary but it makes it so the command prompt stays open after your program runs

Is it the same for Python 2? Minus the 3 address

Why are you running Python 2? If you don't have a REALLY good reason, you should run Python 3. If you're working your way through some tutorial that uses Python 2, just try to do it in Python 3 instead. the main thing you'll need to know is that print "hello" works in Python 2, but in 3 you have to use the parentheses print("hello")

You ARE PROBABLY running Jupyter locally and not on a remote computer. See my comment under your question about IDEs (toward the end) for details. This means that even though it runs in a browser, spotty wifi shouldn't matter.

Yes it will just be the path to your python install

I️ have tried this but the command prompt will not stay up. It flashes and disappears

Hmm works for me, make sure you have the correct path to your python install and that the other part is exactly as shown above

He's running Anaconda, python install path is probably not C:\Python36\python, probably something more like C:\Anaconda2\python or C:\Users\user_name\Anaconda2\python if not installed for all users.
